Daniel Buckley, Hiba Elchikhe, Kayleigh McKnight To Star In New Musical FIVER At Southwark Playhouse

FIVER follows the story of a humble £5 note as it passes through the hands and pockets of different people in London. Often unnoticed and obviously unaware, the fiver is present for significant moments in each person's life - from an appreciation of their skills as a street performer, the start or end of relationships to the simple realisation that they can afford a bed for the night.

Musical Director: Tom Lees. Set Design: Justin Williams.

More cast and creative team to be announced soon.

His theatre credits include Apartment 40C (St James Theatre/ London Theatre Workshop), The Secret Garden (The Barn Theatre, Cirencester) and Best of Friends (Landor Theatre). His music is available on iTunes and Spotify.

Tom Lees (Writer/Musical Director/Producer) has been MD for several productions at London Theatre Workshop, including Ordinary Days (which he was nominated for a BroadwayWorld award for Best Musical Direction) and the Sondheim revue, Just Another Love Story. He was MD for his own award-winning musical Apartment 40C. He has worked extensively with Britain's Got Talent winners Collabro for whom he has provided numerous arrangements.

A workshop of FIVER ran at Crazy Coqs in 2017.

Ellison and Lees said: "Since Crazy Coqs we have expanded the show, both in terms of length and complexity. FIVER now runs 40 minutes longer and we are massively excited to see the changes we have made come to life on stage."
